"Take a close look at the black widow's face."
"No."

I like how the dude is still scared even though he knows it's dead and submerged in liquid making sure it's drowned. I feel you

[Unknow-tzep]

Everybody gangsta until it's start moving

– Such a little cute spider, what can it do with one bite?
– Vomit, pain, paralysis

Everyone knows that spiders inject venom with the stingers on their butts. RIP Frodo

Dead things can't hurt you.

I politely decline.

watching this on the toilet and “it’s incredibly venomous…” got me checking the bowl real brief 👀

I actually got bit by one of those darned things. I was scooping out wood chips to go into my outdoor animal kennels. They were in a bag, so I thought I was safe. Unfortunately, I squeezed her pretty hard and she retaliated. I had extreme shortness of breath, swelling in the arm and hand that was bitten, and fatigue. Wanna know the most f-ed up part? I called into work telling them that I was bitten by a BLACK WIDOW SPIDER 🕷 and was going to the hospital. My boss asked me if I could come in when I was done in the E.R.! Luckily, I wasn't allergic to the venom. Hell, I didn't even feel horribly towards the poor spider I squeezed to death. Squeeze me hard and I'll bite too. The spider helped me figure out if I should quit my job... I QUIT THE NEXT DAY!
🌟🌟🌟Wowww, thank you guys and gals for taking time out to read and like my story. The comments are also appreciated. No worries though, because this beautiful and terrifying lil creature helped me make a life empowering decision. I'm forever grateful. The Creator speaks in many different ways. Be somewhere that appreciates you, not just tolerates you! We all deserve a good place to thrive. If you can't find it... create it! Started my own business and never looked back. Best decision EVER!💖💖💖💖💖

I was bit by this when I was 4 in the middle of nowhere. My organs were paralyzed by the time I made it to the hospital. God bless my mum.

I worked at a pet store chain last year and we had a black widow infestation that never got eradicated cuz the district manager didnt wanna close the store to fumigate the place. Quit not long after.

When my dad was younger he was bitten by 3 black widows at the same time. He was rushed to a hospital and was put under a coma. He says that the pain stuck with him longer than any other pain he had felt ever.

I've only been bitten by a venomous spider once and it was a VERY mild species. But my dad was bitten by a Brown Recluse once, when moving firewood. His hand legit looked like it was rotting, even the primary care doctor seemed offput by the green pus and the yellow-ish coloration of his hand. This was in 2017 or so and my dad is doing okay now though, we bring this story up and laugh about it sometimes :)

The fact that they live in Polish forests makes me even more scared

If I see that spider in my room, I'm moving to frikin mars 😍

Interesting thing about spider fangs, they’re actually heavily modified from the chelicerae of other arachnids. He mentioned the pedipalps hold the prey still to inject venom, well basal Chelicerae actually are tiny little claws! You can still see them on scorpions. It’s the equivalent of if you didn’t have a jaw and you had 2 tiny little hands to rip apart your food for you and they push the bits in your mouth. :D

Black widows are extremely docile and intelligent. They are the most shy spiders and rarely attack unless you disturb their nest or eggs

"This is a black widow spider"
Yeah, and this is my flamethrower. :)
